Poor Pluto… getting left out of this work, then finally being recognized and finally getting booted out altogether. Poor poor Pluto 😢

Pluto is the best one! Maybe it doesn't have the glamorous rings of Saturn or the size of Jupiter or even a local area code, but it's purple and I bet when you where a kid, it was your favorite! Pluto for president!!

Snance, A purple planet? Never saw a picture of it. Thought it was a dull grey.
